PES 2012 continues KONAMI's determination to listen to its fanbase and makekey improvements to the aspects the audience demands. Thus, the focus forPES 2012 is to ensure the highest level of playability, challenge andrealism for the game, whilst also improving the level of control offered tousers. Fundamental changes to all areas of its AI have been made followinguser feedback. Similarly, teamwork is central to how the game moves andfeels, enabling fans to replicate anything they would see in a real matchActive AI: PES 2012 strives to recreate the movement and team ethic of realfootball, and Active AI plays a vital role in this. Players will no longerflock to a ball, but will make intelligent runs to create space and drawmarkers, while others will make themselves available, instigate runs, andvisibly call for the ball. In the box, support players will make diagonaldecoy runs, full backs will overlap on the wings and midfielders willprovide support from behind the ball. The new Active AI routines ensure theflow of a match is more natural, with specific routines for both attack anddefence. Hold-up play implemented last year has been improved for easiercontrol with more effectiveness. Defending as a unit plays a key role, andplayers now hold a tight line, check on the distance between each othertrack back as a unit, and fill in for each other. As individuals they alsomake better decisions to close space, block and tackle

Jostling: Physicality is a key component in PES 2012, with player strengthone of their key individual attributes, and having a vital effect on howthey can use their strength to win the ball in a one-on-one situationPlayers now fall depending on how they are challenged, with more realisticanimations used to show the challenges between two jostling players

Graphics: Several aspects of the game have enjoyed a huge overhaul. Playerfacial expression is now much richer and the lighting effects are morenatural, while new cameras show off the huge variety of pitch-sidemovement, with more detail on and around the game than ever before

Off The Ball Control: Equally key to opening up PES 2012 is the ability tohighlight any player at any time. A new system has been implementedallowing users to switch players with ease. In defence, the right stick isnow used to select any outfield player, while set pieces are also enhancedthrough its use. Goal kicks, corners, free kicks and throw-ins now let theuser quickly take control of any player off the ball, enabling clever runswhich create space for an attack

Referee AI: Referees are also crucial to general game flow and their AI hasbeen greatly enhanced to ensure fewer interruptions to play. Decisions areimproved, and advantage is played much more regularly in offside and freekick scenarios. As such, refs will only intervene when truly necessary, butthey will show cards if necessary once play has broken down

Pass Support: Accessed through the new personal player settings, PassSupport allows users to determine the level of AI assistance when passingthe ball. Players can opt for one of five settings from full support, rightup to full veteran setting which switches off all assistance so that thedirection, weight and speed of every pass is at their disposal
